■ "100 Days of the Simple Life" Synopsis

Paul is a programmer who enjoys a carefree single life surrounded by the things he loves. Paul's sweet life with NANA, an AI-enabled app he developed five years ago, is fulfilling, and NANA has become a precious part of his life. His childhood friend and co-owner, Tony, worries about Paul's digital addiction, but is intent on improving his own appearance. During a pitch presentation to sell NANA to an American IT businessman, Paul explains that he created it to "make people happy," but Tony insists that his "true purpose is to make money." Ultimately, Tony is sold for 4 million euros (approximately 490 million yen), and celebrates with his employees. However, Paul cannot forgive Tony for trying to make money from NANA, so he proposes a challenge to Tony. It involves depositing all of his possessions in a warehouse, starting with nothing and no money, and recovering one essential item per day for 100 days. Will Paul and Tony be able to salvage their relationship? And what are the truly important things they have chosen on their 100th day?
